Medical reimbursement

The territorial administration has introduced a medical reimbursement scheme for retired government staff and their spouse in the Union Territory by contributing a share of the premium amount.

However, the scheme is not applicable to pensioners of local bodies.

Under the newly framed Puducherry Pensioners (Retired Government Servants) Medical Facilities Rules, 2010, those who draw pension from the Treasury or nationalised banks in the Puducherry, Karaikal, Mahe and Yanam regions could benefit from the scheme.
